Does this imply a NACK to v2 [1], where I changed it to VIR_WARN to match the
other cases of returning -2?

Resetting the error won't unlog it. On the other hand, there are paths (like
in virStorageBackendFileSystemVolRefresh) where the return value of '-2' would
get propagated without setting an error (which is pre-existing for the other
cases, but could be a problem in this case).
